Iwan Dacko, F. Oleh Turii It is general knowledge that the year 1989 marked a significant change in the public life of Eastern European countries. Ukraine was no exception. After the celebrations of the millennium of Baptism of Kyivan Rus’ (1988) one can even speak of a resurrection (Keleher 1993; 1997, Gudziak 1997, p. 49–72) of political, and particularly reli- gious life in Ukraine, which ultimately lead to the proclamation of its independence on 24 August 1991 and disintegration of Soviet Union. When we compare statistics they speak for themselves. In 1985 there were 16 religious confessions registered in the Ukrainian SSR, whereas in 2011 the number had risen to 120. In 1985, on the other hand, 6.2 thousand religious communities were oYcially recorded in Ukraine, whereas in 2011 they were 34.5 thousand, tendency increasing (Tserkva i suspil’stvo 2000–2001, p. 207)1. Objectively one has to admit that with such increase, there were tensions and conflict situations within these communities. This fact has been widely noted, especially among the Western mass media, frequently exaggerated and overestimated on all sides. Furthermore, there were and are tendencies to overemphasize these facts and politicize them. Today, however, after more than twenty years, we dare to express the opinion that basically it was, and still is the search towards self identification, or rather identity, of each religious community.

Ukraine’s second democratically-elected Verkhovna Rada met for the first time on May 12 for a plenary ses- sion dealing with organizational matters and was high- lighted by the annual state of the nation address delivered before the body by Ukraine’s president, Leonid Kuchma. Chaos erupted on the floor of the parliament, however, as soon as National Deputy Slava Stetsko took to the podium to swear-in her fellow parliamentarians and offi- cially open the 14th session. As this session’s oldest member, the 78-year-old mem- ber of Parliament assumed the responsibility of leading her fellow parliamentarians in taking the oath, a right granted to her by Ukraine’s Constitution. As Mrs. Stetsko stepped to the podium, Communist Party members began hooting and raised a banner stating, “Banderites out,” referring to a branch of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, a party in which Mrs. Stetsko was active for most of her life and one opposed to com- munism.

  • Eastern Christianity and Politics: Church-State Relations in Ukraine
    CAMBRIDGE INSTITUTE ON RELIGION & INTERNATIONAL STUDIES Eastern Christianity and Politics: Church-State Relations in Ukraine Lucian N. Leustean | 11 January 2016 Cambridge Institute on Religion & International Studies Clare College Trinity Lane CB2 1TL Cambridge United Kingdom CIRIS.org.uk This report was commissioned by CIRIS on behalf of the Transatlantic Policy Network on Religion and Diplomacy (TPNRD). CIRIS’s role as the secretariat for the TPNRD is a partnership with George Mason University and is funded by the Henry Luce Foundation. 1 Eastern Christianity and Politics: Church-State Relations in Ukraine On 23 June 2001, Pope John Paul II arrived in Kyiv for a five-day state visit on the invitation of President Leonid Kuchma. Upon arrival, his first words uttered in Ukrainian were: ‘Let us recognise our faults as we ask forgiveness for the errors committed in both the distant and recent past. Let us in turn offer forgiveness for the wrongs endured. Finally, with deep joy, I have been able to kiss the beloved soil of Ukraine. I thank God for the gift that he has given me today’.1 The Pope’s words, which combined religious diplomacy with political reconciliation, were received with scepticism by his counterparts in Kyiv and Moscow. A few weeks earlier, Metropolitan Vladimir, head of the largest Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate), asked the Pope to cancel his visit, an unusual request which was regarded as breaching the Vatican protocol. Furthermore, Patriarch Aleksii II of the Russian Orthodox Church declined meeting the Pope either in Moscow, or in Kyiv, as long as ‘the Greek-Catholic war continues against Orthodox believers in Ukraine and until the Vatican stops its expansion into Russia, Belarus and Ukraine’.2 The Patriarch’s reference to ‘a war’ between Orthodox and Catholics, and continuing religious tension in Ukraine, are part of the wider and complex trajectory of church- state relations within the Eastern Christian world which has developed after the end of the Cold War.
